Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureC
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Jalen McLeod pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 87 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at the 48th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in pick No. 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 198 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They reached a country mile for Cooper Mays at the 227th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Williams at Round 7, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
